حدود و قصاص، مالی اور غیر مالی معاملات میں عورت کی شہادت کے حوالے سے فقہاء کے اقوال و دلائل کا تجزیاتی جائزہ

Abstract

Testimony has an important place in every religion and society because of which a claimant gets or deprived of his right. In view of the importance of testimony, Islam has given detailed injunctions for it and has also obliged its followers to always bear true witness. There are different types of human affairs in which men and women testify. Quran has mentioned specific rules regarding the testimony of a woman in financial matters. There is a difference of opinion among the jurists regarding the testimony of a woman in matters other than financial issues such as hudud o qisas, marriage, divorce, remarriage, and women-specific matters (for instance menstruation cycle, virginity, physical defects and birth of a dead or alive child etc.). This study aims to evaluate the views of Islamic jurists regarding the testimony of women in different affairs and the prevailing position (Rajeh Qaol).
